from what i understand its not an option by law. my f-250 crew cab doesn't
have a switch to turn it off. they told me if you have access to the rear
seat it wont come with it and i needed a letter from some auto safety
committee in order for ford to install one. i would be careful. if you get
into an accident and it doesn't go off when it should you might have
problems.

1> Information is power plain and simple. By informing people of the
proper ethics and morals of OHV we are empowering THEM to help keep the
lands open.

2> The mention to "pre-Columbus" days. Before Columbus landed on this
rock of a continent there were no problems with the right wing activists
and people went where ever they wanted when ever they wanted.

3> If the guy is a lawyer doesn't that put him as the lowest being on
the planet?? <sorry bad lawyer joke>

4> Honestly if the guy is a lawyer and is an environmentalist then by
being on this group he will learn 2 things. Yes there are OHV people
that DO NOT CARE about the environment(we do complain about them all the
time) and there are OHV people who CARE VERY STRONGLY about the
environment(IE trail retrievals, trail restorations, trail cleanups,
etc).

5> Since this is a medium for the exchange of ideas should WE not accept
other peoples ideas with an open mind? Should WE not provide OUR own
ideas to others and hope THEY have an open mind?

6> There are a lot of activist on BOTH sides of the fence that have
given one side or the other a bad name. But can you REALLY judge a
group by the actions of 1 member? Look at the Hanoi Jane. Remember all
that crap that went around about her? Now are the groups she belongs to
really as bad as her or are there a lot of good people there as well?

7> I have a friend who is an ecologist. She owns a 4x4 and uses it for
work so she can study different areas of the ecology. While me and her
do not see eye to eye on everything we both do agree on one simple
thing. TREAD LIGHTY.

The sort of it is a run up the back way to CK on April 6th to
benefiet a Suprise firefighter with cancer. It is $50 for the first
and $30 for each add'l family member. Let me know how many vehicles
(same family can have as many as they want), names and t-shirt
sizes. you get a shirt and a meal in CK. I need to know TODAY.
Sorry for the short notice, but like I said before, I tried to post
this Sunday and Monday. Thanks.

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with putting a manual
override switch on the passenger side air bag ('98 TJ). There are times
when I would like to have my daughter ride up front with me but with the
air bag in place it's not an option. TIA, KC Vehr

At the bottom of the second page, "this steering system is intended for
off highway use only" Johny Joints, YUCK.

Same here. Although I had to remove the heavy duty spring I got for
it. After TDS (Tierra del Sol Desert Safari) this year we were
driving home with the top off and my 4 foot Firestick was bent at 90
degrees, whipping around in a big circle. Thank goodness we have the
expanded sport bar in the rear of our YJ or my son would have a mark
on the side of his head! Plus, reception would go in and out on the
trail when the spring flexed.

You bring up a good question....how useful am I when I don't know much about
working on Jeeps?

Depending on the job, you can be VERY helpful. When we were at ChrisK's
house and helping Les get his new D44 under this TJ, we had three pairs of
hands at the exact time we were trying to line up the axle with the control
arm brackets. Balancing that D44 on the floor jack and positioning into
place would have been easier with a 4th set of hands at that point in time.

On the flip side of the coin.....if a guy is doing an AA SYE install (and he
has never done one) and you have never done a SYE install....well, you
probably would not be as much help given that scenario. BUT....then again,
I had never even cracked open a transfer case until I did my own Tera 4:1
and 2LO. (in fact, I had never pulled one off of a vehicle before....and
the guy that came over to help me....who is not in this club.....is blind
too!)

So....maybe I am sayign that you shouldn't sell yourself short. And it is a
really good idea to contact the person that is requesting the help and
explain it to him/her. They can hopefully tell you if they believe your
assistance would be of benefit or not.

And last but not least....don't pass up an opportunity to watch and learn,
at the very least. That is how we all become better at doing new things.

Question then, how useful/helpful would someone without (automotive)
mechanical knowledge be to someone asking for help on their rig? I
unfortunately don't have the knowledge to help, but I would willingly
be an extra pair of hands and am ready for some "on-the-job" training.

I'm currently at the point where I'm slowly modifying by stock XJ for
trail use. I have asked for help from the ArizonaXJ list to install
factory skidplates. I highly prefer not to fall into the trap of not
being able to return the favor to someone someday.

I have to agree with you Joe, although there really has only been 2
people to help me on my Jeep, but I really don't care if I help
someone, and they say they can't help me. I spend more time with my
wife and my 2 year old and 4 month old then I do working on my own
Jeep. I could care less if I helped someone else, and they could not
help me. As my wife says, "You spend more time working on other
peoples Jeeps than you do yours". There is something wrong with that
sentance, means I don't spend enough $$$ on my own Jeep !!

Rob, I am very sorry I couldn't help you out last weekend. This
happend to Jake Wagner a few months ago too. Unfortunatly he posted
it on a Tuesday, and he was doing it on Saturday. I have my weekends
planned in advance, and my family does come first. Some of you might
think that sounds rude, but it is true. I am more than willing to
help and even HAVE hosted a few wrenching parties too.

It would be a huge mistake to try and remove anyone from this ABSOLUTELY NOT
private list... regardless of who or what the person it.

Are we taking stupid pills here? Does anyone on this list think that
someone, ANYONE couldn't sign up under any name they like? So... we
eliminate this guy from the group and he signs back up as Eric K. Green and
away we go... none the brighter.

Please... let's not even discuss kicking someone off of the group because of
who they are or what they believe...
To even consider doing so would be pure stupidity.

You have an XJ right? My brothers does that too, if you shift it out
of park and then back in, it works. There is a loose connection
somewhere. Sorry I can't tell you where, but I will ask my brother
and see if he ever found it.

You know, I think that we are making waaayyyyyyy too much of a big deal out
of this. If I were one of "them" and the worst type, I would simply sign up
to the list as "Billy Bob Jeeper", owning a whatever type of Jeep and join
in all the conversations, and no one would probably never know the
difference, correct ?
So just because someone says that they're an "Environmental Attorney" we
all wanna knee jerk freak out, as though they were no chance that someone
else on this list isn't one of "them" because they are listing themselves as
such.
What do we have to hide and why ?
How many members are on this list that are subscribed and described as
"Jeepers" or whatever ?? Wasn't, or isn't it over 1000 ??
What makes anyone think that there isn't at least one of "them", simply
listing themselves as a hardcore Jeeper, or whatever ?
I don't see what the fuss is about. This list and "membership" is completely
open to whomever wants to subscribed and call themselves a 4 wheeler, right
??
There isn't anyone doing background checks, so, *expect* one or more of
"them" to be here. If we don't, I think that we're being pretty naive.
Are you going to believe everyone's profile ?
I think we are being pretty silly if we do

Yes, you will have to drop another $190 for a new CV driveshaft. The
$100 one is a "hack and tap" style. You pull your existing tail
shaft, hack it off, then tap it so the new yoke end will bolt to it.
Is it good??? Some people that are running them seem to think so.

I agree with Joe 100%............. as I stated in my previous
post........... this could work to our advantage. EDUCATION is the answer
to most of the "environmental" problems before us. From ALL sides. The
bigger numbers of the extremists view OHV as the "killer" of the
environment........ but not all. If this guy is looking at "digging up
information" he's not going to find anything other than "MOST OHV
RECREATIONISTS ARE COOL........ AND DO RESPECT OUR LANDS". Yes, there are
some yahoos within 4-wheeling as there are within hiking groups, hunting
groups, equestrian yada yada. ......... that do not, and probably never
will, respect the land or resources but the agencies KNOW this. I'm
rambling again......... Sorry. I guess bottom line is: DON'T MAKE THEM
THINK WE HAVE SOMETHING TO HIDE............ WE DON'T. S.

Fred's made a good point..............
Another thing to think about............ an "environmental attorney" does
not, in it's name, mean he/she's "green". Environmental Attorneys also deal
with "chemical dumps" and these type issues. Maybe??

I had switches put on for both the passenger and drivers side. You have to
find a garage that does the switches and get a permit to send into the Dept
of motor vehicles, and they have to OK it. (the auto shops should have the
permits)Also I think you can get on the web and get the permits. Then the
garage can put them in This is the legal way in Michigan.

I don't think we should be in such an uproar because
of someones profession. Are we here to complain about
who is a member? I joined this club to learn about
my, and others jeeps. Also to find a group who enjoys
jeeping.
